From Cppreference

Uniform random number distribution produces random integers i, uniformly distributed on the closed interval [a, b], that is, distributed according to the discrete probability function P(i|a,b) = 1/(b − a + 1).

[edit] Example

This program simulates throwing 6-sided dice.

#include <random>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 gen(rd());
    std::uniform_int_distribution<> dis(1, 6);
    for(int n=0; n<10; ++n)
        std::cout << dis(gen) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 1 6 5 2 2 5 5 6 2
